In four short spots, Edwards explicitly contrasts his electability, opposition to Nafta "and other trade deals", and lobbyist bans to the other two Democrats.

The lobbyist contrast is accurate, and the electability is supported by some of the polling, including the CNN poll he cites; on Nafta, he arrived too late to vote for it, but did vote for other trade deals in the Senate before evolving toward a more sharply skeptical line.
